The FundedFirm: Built for Indian Traders, Powered by UPI
In the ever-evolving landscape of proprietary trading, the barriers for Indian traders have often been more logistical than skill-based. While the appetite and talent for trading are abundant across India, many aspiring traders find themselves stuck at a very basic but critical stage: payments.
International card rejections, lengthy wire transfers, high conversion charges, and complex verification systems often stand in the way of a trader's journey even before the first trade is placed. FundedFirm decided to change that starting with the one thing that empowers every Indian trader: UPI.

A Prop Firm That Understands India
Unlike most global prop firms, which simply list India as a 'supported' country, FundedFirm has designed its infrastructure with Indian traders in mind. Our philosophy is simple, great traders shouldn't be held back by payment gateways, bank documentation, or currency complications.
That's why FundedFirm is India's first prop firm to offer full UPI integration—a move that's revolutionizing access to global trading opportunities for millions of Indian traders.
UPI Support Isn't a Bonus, It's a Necessity
Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is one of the most significant financial innovations in India. With over 10 billion transactions processed monthly, UPI has become the default mode of payment for everything from utility bills and shopping to tuition fees and peer-to-peer transfers.
Yet, surprisingly, no global prop firm until now has integrated UPI into their trader ecosystem. This meant aspiring Indian traders had to:
● Rely on international cards (which many don't possess)
● Pay extra forex conversion fees
● Wait days for verification or wire transfer confirmations
● Navigate foreign platforms and currencies, even for local payments
FundedFirm removes all of that.
Instant, Safe, Seamless: The UPI Advantage
Here's what full UPI support means for every Indian trader at FundedFirm:
1. Instant Account Access
With UPI, traders can pay for their challenge in seconds, no card numbers, no bank visits, and no delays. It's as simple as scanning a QR code or authorizing through a UPI app like PhonePe, Paytm, Google Pay, etc.
2. Zero Forex Conversion Loss
Since UPI transactions are processed in INR, there are no foreign exchange losses or additional charges, what you pay is what you see.
3. Payouts Made Easy
Payouts from profit splits and milestones are processed directly into UPI-linked bank accounts, ensuring fast, traceable, and tax-compliant settlements.
4. No Minimum Balance or Card Requirements
Whether you're a student, freelancer, or full-time trader no credit card or international payment gateway is needed. If you have a UPI-enabled bank account, you're good to go.
Monthly UPI Transactions in India (2025)
This data speaks for itself. With 12 billion+ monthly UPI transactions, it's no exaggeration to say that UPI is now a financial lifeline across India.
FundedFirm: Where Tech Meets Trader Empathy
FundedFirm is more than just a prop trading platform. It's a system built to empower, not exclude.
Here's what makes us stand out:
● UPI & INR Payments: No dependency on international cards or wallets

Bridging Global Markets, Locally
By offering UPI payments, FundedFirm is doing more than just simplifying transactions, we're breaking a long-standing accessibility barrier. In a country where more than 400 million people actively use UPI, but very few prop firms support it, this step isn't just practical—it's revolutionary.
FundedFirm ensures that India's traders are no longer on the sidelines of global opportunities. Now, they can start faster, earn more, and grow without borders.

India, Russia vow to enhance defence ties
Moscow: Russia's Deputy Defence Minister Colonel General Aleksandr Fomin on Wednesday held a meeting with Vinay Kumar, India's Ambassador to Russia, as both sides discussed ways to further intensify the multifaceted India-Russia Special Privileged Strategic Partnership. 'During the talks, the sides discussed topical issues of bilateral cooperation in the defence sphere, confirmed the focus on further strengthening the specialised cooperation in the form of a particularly privileged strategic partnership,' read a statement issued by the Russian Defence Ministry. 'The meeting took place in a warm and friendly atmosphere, which is traditional for the Russian-Indian relations,' it added. India has a longstanding and wide-ranging cooperation with Russia in the field of defence, which is guided by the India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission on Military and Military Technical Cooperation (IRIGC-MMTC) headed by the Defence Ministers of both countries. As time-tested partners, both countries have been involved in several bilateral projects, including the supply of S-400, licensed production of T-90 tanks and Su-30 MKI, supply of MiG-29 and Kamov helicopters, INS Vikramaditya (formerly Admiral Gorshkov), production of AK-203 rifles in India and BrahMos missiles. New Delhi and Moscow acknowledge that the military technical cooperation has evolved over time from a buyer-seller framework to one involving joint research and development, co-development and joint production of advanced defence technology and systems. As the Indian Armed Forces successfully retaliated and also inflicted significant losses on Pakistan during the decisive Operation Sindoor in May this year, the S-400 air defence system was credited with shooting down several incoming missiles from across the border. Considering the strategic planning and military preparedness, New Delhi is set to procure more S-400 air defence systems soon. Meanwhile, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval is also in Moscow, holding meetings with senior Russian officials to discuss India-Russia defence and security cooperation.

Bangladesh's tariff rate has been reduced to 20% from 35%, while Pakistan, following a recent trade agreement with the US, will now pay 19% instead of 29%.

In an official statement, the MEA said, 'The United States has in recent days targeted India's oil imports from Russia. We have already made clear our position, including the fact that our imports are based on market factors and aimed at ensuring energy security for 1.4 billion people.''It is extremely unfortunate that the US should choose to impose additional tariffs on India for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest. India will take all actions necessary to protect its national interests,' the statement added.: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
